GLASGOW (AFP) – Nigerian teenage weightlifter
Chika Amalaha faces a hearing before the
Commonwealth Games Federation on Friday over her
failed drugs test.
Amalaha, whose A sample failed a control after
claiming gold in the women’s 53kg category on July
25, also produced a positive B sample.
The tests revealed traces of diuretics and masking
agents.
CGF chief executive Mike Hooper said the follow-up
examination backed up the initial finding of the
doping control that Amalaha went through after her
victory in the 52kg class at the Clyde Auditorium
seven days ago.
Hooper said on Friday: “I can report that the analysis
on the Nigerian weightlifting Chika Amalaha’s B
sample has been completed, and this has confirmed
the analysis and finding of the A result.”
Amalaha snatched a best of 85kg before managing
111kg in the clean and jerk for a total of 196kg, to
become the youngest Commonwealth weightlifter
gold medallist.
